Cincinnati Union Bethel

THE ANNA LOUISE INN [Est. 1909]: Through our Anna Louise Inn, we provide permanent supportive housing to women experiencing chronic homelessness. HER Cincinnati operates the Inn as a Housing Assistance Program, offering rental subsidies so that residents pay only 30% of their income towards rent. We offer wraparound case management services to all residents, with the goal of helping them graduate to independent, stable housing. Each year, we serve 85 women through the Inn. All (100%) of participants are low-income women who have a certificate of chronic homelessness. The majority of participants have been diagnosed with either a substance use disorder or a mental health disorder as well.

OFF THE STREETS [Est. 2006]: Off the Streets is HER Cincinnati's holistic recovery program for women who are survivors of human trafficking. Clients reside at our 24-bed communal shelter, where they can access basic needs, addiction recovery services, and trauma-informed case management. After completing the first phase of the recovery process, clients have the option of moving into our OTS transitional housing space, which is located on floors directly above our OTS shelter. These clients can then work toward greater levels of self-sufficiency while still being able to access our wraparound supports on an as-needed basis. Each year, 75-100 women participate in OTS. Currently, 62% of clients are white, 31% are African American, and 7% are multiracial. Clients range in age from 18 to 57 years old. All (100%) of OTS clients are survivors of domestic human trafficking who have a history of incarceration. In a typical year, 61% of clients report a mental health diagnosis, 98% require substance abuse treatment, and 20% have a diagnosed physical or mental disability.
